Black Friday and Cyber Monday are often two of the best days in the year to get great deals on gadgets and gifts, but if you're feeling a little overwhelmed by it all, we've gone through and cherry picked a few of the best deals from a variety of retailers.

Keep in mind, most of these deals won't be available until Black Friday and many are only available in-store. If you aren't seeing anything you like, you can click on the retailer to go directly to a scan of the current Black Friday ad. We did our best to hand-pick only the best deals, but Gizmodo has the fire hose for electronics. We'll be updating this throughout the week as more deals are released.

Black Friday

All phones (except the iPhone) from Verizon, Sprint, and AT&T are on sale for a 1¢ with a new line of service. If you purchase a hotspot-ready smartphone and activate it, you get a $100 Amazon Gift Card (sale effective now).
